Soil protection has become a major political,
environmental and economic issue. Demand for new developments is rising
and this has resulted in increased pressure to consider changes in land
use. As a consequence gaining accurate information on the impact of
development on land, and particularly soils, has become increasingly
important.

Soil surveys
are an integral part of any development project - whether a contaminated
land risk assessment or development on agricultural land.

There is considerable information and best practice guidance available
on how soil surveys for different projects should be undertaken.
This guidance is well embedded in the planning system and Soil Environment
Services are professionals in implementing the techniques in the guidance.

A professional soil survey can enable the development process to run
more smoothly and unlock considerable value from land whilst protecting
the soil resource.

This web site will tell you more about soil surveys for contaminated
land risk assessment and soil surveys for developments on agricultural
land. Please contact us if you think we can help you with
your development project.
